  • Initial impressions - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    This is an initial review at 104 miles of use. The car rides well, dealer prep was poor--the compass-mirror was not set to this region and tires were badly over-inflated. The dealer also failed to prevent this factory ordered car from being unnecessarily driven by dealership employees. Perhaps that is why it now has a slight piston slap in one cylinder. The manual explicitly states not to exceed 4000 RPM before 1000 miles. The H-K music system is excellent. The steering wheel tilt-telescope control is awkwardly positioned. Body gaps are larger than the car being replaced. The white paint appearance is excellent.

  • Adaptor - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    I love my legacy the driving is fun and I hope it lasts me for years to come, the only problem I have is the adapters are blowing the fuses on my car - you cant plug in a gps or phone charger adapter. It blows the fuse they need an adapter that can take more power like the Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet. They are behind in that technology part. I was told it was very sensitive by the dealer after I bought the car.

  • Very nice car - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    We wanted an AWD commute car, and are very pleased with the Legacy 2.5i Limited. Excellent gas mileage, 31-33 on 2 recent trips. Very sharp handling with upgraded Continental tires. Quite comfortable with leather seats and very good sound system. Excellent passenger room.

  • Awesome Car - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Traded in 07 Civic and the Legacy is like driving a luxury car. Test drove a 08 Legacy but car gave rough ride and even smaller interior than the civic. Tested the 10 Legacy and was blown away. Great interior room, great ride quality, great radio sound. Engine sounds awesome under high rev but very quiet when cruising. Considering AWD and the price, you get A LOT for the money. I have 300 miles and am getting over 25 mpg and engine not even broken in yet. Love this car!

  • Nice car but... - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Just traded a 2007 Audi A4 on this because I wanted to keep the all wheel drive and have more space. Very nice vehicle but lost the "fun" factor that I had with the Audi. Plus, if you are on the fence between the Premium and the Limited, spend the extra bucks for the Limited. I went with the Premium due to the excellent lease deal but cant begin to tell you how much I regret the decision. The stereo in the Legacy Premium is about the worst stock stereo I have ever heard. Also, really miss climate control and leather seats. If these things dont matter to you, then the Premium is a good choice.

  • Happy :) - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    This car rides well and is very comfortable for everyone in my family to drive- from 60 230 to 56 120. I really like the Engine/Trans. combination and the mileage for a full size AWD car is amazing. The 6 cylinder has more boogie but doesnt get the CVT trans. so the MPG is not as good and of course its more money up front. If you dont care much about mileage and have the coin go with the 6- its trans. is silky smooth and the extra power is sweet. That being said, the 4cyl and CVT is loosening up and car is getting much faster. I dont mind sacrificing speed for mileage at $3.10 plus a gallon!

  • A car with the shakes - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Car shakes over 60 mph, never felt anything like this in any car. So far disappointing they do not have a fix because they do not know the problem. This is BS, i thinks its the design and they dont want to spend the money to make their customers happy. Too bad without this problem it would be a better car than Honda or Toyota but ultimately it seems like Subaru has failed and will lose market share if they do not correct this problem

  • 1st Subaru - Nice Car!!! - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Bought today, 50 miles so far. This was my choice over Camry, Accord, Altima since they all had comparable features for the price EXCEPT for AWD. Car runs very smooth and feels solid on the road: The feeling of AWD pushing the vehicle rather than that "pull" feel from front wheel drivers. CVT trans is wowing me as there is no shifting and it cruises quietly: 70mph at about 2100RPM. Engine is very responsive and unless you really need to race, I dont see a need for the Flat-6. Base radio is also very good and cant justify spending the extra 1k for the HK Stereo option. I would recommend test driving this car if youre in the mid-size sedan market. Good luck haggling on a brand new car!

  • Side molding between the tires - 2010 Subaru Legacy
    By -

    Has anyone else had problems with the side molding between the tires coming off? Mine has came off 4 times this week! Its frustrating. To think we paid a lot of money for a car thats gonna fall apart! I love the car & its features, but I am completely unhappy w/this problem! If we would have known it when we bought it we wouldnt have!
